Business mathematics seeks to solve everyday business problems by means of methods and concepts of mathematical science.
After completing this course, students should have developed a clear understanding of the fundamental concepts of mathematics and a range of skills allowing them to:
 Formulate business problems into mathematical models,
 Solve these models,
 Interpret the solutions.
Lectures, assignments, exercise from the textbook.

Punctuality and regular attendance in classes is of prime importance for successful completion of this course. Students will be expected to arrive for class on time and to remain in class until the end of the class session.
Note: If you miss a class, it is your responsibility to e-mail your instructor, visit your instructor's office to find out what was covered in class and to find out your assignments for the following class. You also need to state how you will make up the missed work. If no contact is made, late assignments will not be accepted.
The course syllabus provides a general plan for the course. The professor reserves the right to make periodic changes to the syllabus, including: assignments, case studies, time table, examinations, etc., in order to accommodate the needs of the class as a whole and fulfill the goals of the course.
